On Stage Design Indaba 2015: Doremy Diatta

Doremy Diatta uses her research to inform how design can play a role in the human-object relationship, with a specific focus on the field of mental health.

“How might the process for design be used to bridge the gap between the material world and the inner world?” she asks.

Diatta partnered with a child mental health organisation in New York City to see if she could find a way to help families implement behavioural and cognitive techniques that they learnt in the clinics in their everyday lives. Doremy Diatta is a consultant and transdiciplinary designer with a focus on healthcare and education.
